A CHRONICLE OF THE DERBY. 273 



liOrd Rous, and Mr. Payne also had colts in the race ; 

 Mr. Lake had two competitors running ; Mr. Stone- 

 hewer, Mr. Wyndham, Mr. Andrews, Mr. S. Buncombe, 

 and Sir B. R. GraJiam's colts helped to swell the field. 

 The story of the race is easy to tell. Busto started 

 well, and made severe pla}'', keeping the lead from 

 Tattenham Corner to within two hundred 3'ards of 

 the ending-post, when Raphael passed him, but in 

 the last two or three strides Whisker came up and 

 won by about half a head. 'Busto, although not 

 placed, was not beat for second place by more than a 

 neck, so that General Gowcr's horses ran second and 

 third,' the best race ever remembered to have been 

 run by the first three for the Dcrb^y, the others being 

 beat a long way. Busto was ridden by W. Pierse, 

 and was sold to Mr. Blake for a very large sum. 

 Jackson, in consequence of the crowd at the winning- 

 post pressing on his horse, was thrown, but was not 

 much hurt. The betting at the start was 3 to 1 and 

 7 to 2 against Raphael, and 8 to 1 against Whisker ; 

 Mr. Wyndham's Frolic was second favourite at 7 to 2 

 against. Value of the stakes, 1,600 guineas. 



The Duke of Grafton was also fortunate enough to 

 win the Oaks with Minuet, by Waxy out of Woodbine, 

 Goodison being the rider ; the same nobleman also 

 ran Discord. The winner of the One Thousand, Lord 

 Foley's br. f. by Selim, started second favourite, but 

 liaving fallen opposite the distance- post and dislocated 

 her shoulder, it was found necessary to destroy her on 

 the course.
